Silver Hotties and Friends: 10th
Anniversary Road Trip

Windsor Gardens Auditorium: June 6 and 7

The first appearance of The Silver Hotties
was ten years ago. They’ve performed 19 times at Denver Nuggets games as well
as being featured at the Ameristar Casino in Blackhawk and other venues
throughout the Metro area. So after a decade of acclaimed shows they decided to
do a celebratory production.

“The Tenth Anniversary Road Trip” was only
performed for one weekend at the Windsor Gardens Auditorium.

SRO crowds who gave it standing ovations
received the show warmly. Director Hillary Hutson, who also choreographed the
show, led these lovely ladies through their paces with tongue planted firmly in
cheek.

The show takes us on a Road
Trip down memory lane on which these talented ladies hoof it to such diverse
tunes as: “Belly up to the Bar, Boys”, “Anything Goes” and “All That Jazz.” The
show does get a little steamy when the ensemble appears as “The Hell’s
Hotties”.In “Born to Be Wild,” Judy
Flomberg gets to show her edgier side in a scene that one might call “50 Shades
of Grey” at the Gardens.

Contributing hugely to the show was Lynn
Nicholson who created and built the scenic design, played drums and even sang
at one point. (You may remember him from his portrayal of the Inspector in
Vintage Theatre’s “Harold and Maude.” You know that hilarious and touching play
Pamela Clifton, who also teaches Drama and directs plays at Windsor Gardens,
directed.)

The jazzy finale, danced to “Puttin’ on
the Ritz,” sent one and all home with an ear-to-ear smile pasted on their
faces.
